Ranbir Kapoor starrer Sanju is creating a lot of buzz across the nation. The film on the life of actor Sanjay Dutt was one of the most awaited ones and the wait has paid off well. The uncanny resemblance between RK and Sanju baba is enough for the audience to go to the theatres. Also, it is Rajkumar Hirani who has helmed the film, who previously directed blockbusters like ‘Munnabhai’ series, ‘3 Idiots’ and ‘PK’. It obviously had to do well the box office, right? It has. On the first day, the movie has collected Rs 34.75 crore at the ticket windows.

In a series of tweets, Bollywood Taran Adarsh tweeted, “Non-holiday... Non-festival release... Yet, #Sanju packs a PHENOMENAL TOTAL on Day 1... Emerges the BIGGEST OPENER of 2018 [so far]... Also, Ranbir's HIGHEST OPENER to date... Expected to cross ₹ 100 cr in 3 days, as per trends... Fri ₹ 34.75 cr. India biz.” And “TOP 5 - 2018 Opening Day biz... 1. #Sanju ₹ 34.75 cr 2. #Race3 ₹ 29.17 cr 3. #Baaghi2 ₹ 25.10 cr 4. #Padmaavat ₹ 19 cr [Thu release; incl Wed previews ₹ 24 cr] 5. #VeereDiWedding ₹ 10.70 cr India biz. [Hollywood films not included]."

This clearly makes Sanju the highest money collector of 2018 beating films like Race 3, Veere Di Wedding, Raazi, Padmaavat too. Well, with this kind of humongous response to the film, it is sure to enter the 100-crore club soon. Are you planning to watch the film this weekend?
